Best 18350 out?

[LennyBanz]

Might buy an Aria Oros Stealth, so I'm looking for a good 18350 for a mech mod! Help me out forum!

I agree with Woofer, it's really hard to beat the new AW 18350. What is the lowest ohm build you're planing to run on that puppy?

I have no idea yet I normally build to about .15, not planning on going super low

18350's don't tolerate low ohms nearly as well as bigger batteries and don't get a lot of time on a charge.

0.15 ohms at 4.2V is going to draw around 28 amps from the battery. For the AW 12A battery, 0.4 ohms will draw around 10.5A, but at 800 mAh it also won't last long on a charge. The Steam Engine calculator estimates around 5 minutes of total vape time or around 60 drags with 5 second puffs.

If you're going to get any sort of reliable usage out of an 18350 you're going to have to build it above 0.30 ohms otherwise it's not worth the trouble of carrying 4-6 18350's, they don't last long at all above 10A.

I use AWs in my mechs too. I like the size, but they don't last very long.
